Congratulations, this is a big release. Some great features in there. Love the phone number as a first class citizen, something we've been considering for a while.

(I work for a competitor, FusionAuth.)

I noticed account linking, between social accounts and existing accounts, based on email matching, was a new feature.

It's documented here: https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/social-signin/link-multiple-p... I believe.

The document walks through the "linking an existing account with a password to social account" scenario. I was wondering if there was also the ability to go the other way, from an existing social account to adding a password?

How do you handle the case where Alice signs up with a username of [email protected] but later wants to link [email protected]?

I also wonder if you can block account linking on a per user basis or if it is enabled for everyone in a system.

We've had account linking for a few years (documentation here: https://fusionauth.io/docs/lifecycle/authenticate-users/iden... ) and have had customers bring up some edge cases like this.
